You've been on alt.home.repair long enough to know that the
prevailing
American attitude is, "If it didn't happen to me, it doesn't matter."

Look at all the COVID fools. "I had a mild case, so it's a big
nothingburger."
"I've been going to the big square dance every weekend for a year and
didn't catch nothin'."

Cindy Hamilton

Indeed.

Of course, there's something that Morgan (and other foreigners) tend to
forget.

There's no "The" United States. There's 50 of them or 331 million of
them
(depending on how you look at it). Even after almost 100 years of
expansion, the federal government still doesn't have the power to
control
everything in the way that other governments do.

Cindy Hamilton

That's very true. Separate states having different laws seems counter
productive to me in many cases. Covid and gun laws are classic examples
where working as one using universal laws would make action so much
simpler and more efficient, IMO.

In some cases a universal law makes sense but the states stretch out
thousands of miles, vary in population density, climate,topography,
industry.

Are your laws the same as Yugoslavia? Germany? Why not?

I can't see how the states that vary in population or the distance or
climate etc makes a difference to having certain nationwide laws

There is an obvious difference with gun laws between places like
New York, LA, Detroit etc with lots of stupid gang banger druggys
and a place like Montana which doesnt have that problem.

Same with lockdown laws with this virus. There is a hell of a difference
between Florida with lots of new yorkers showing up every year and
other places that dont have anything like that level of tourist traffic.

My impression always was that you are the "coolest" gossiping wordy old
washerwoman that's out there, lowbrowwoman! LOL

I think that Piers Morgan has a point, but I'd change that to:
just-admit-you-dont-care-ENOUGH-about-mass-shootings.

You've been on alt.home.repair long enough to know that the prevailing
American attitude is, "If it didn't happen to me, it doesn't matter."

Look at all the COVID fools. "I had a mild case, so it's a big nothingburger."
"I've been going to the big square dance every weekend for a year and
didn't catch nothin'."

Cindy Hamilton

Indeed.

Of course, there's something that Morgan (and other foreigners) tend to
forget.

There's no "The" United States. There's 50 of them or 331 million of them
(depending on how you look at it). Even after almost 100 years of
expansion, the federal government still doesn't have the power to control
everything in the way that other governments do.

Cindy Hamilton

That's very true. Separate states having different laws seems counter
productive to me in many cases. Covid and gun laws are classic examples
where working as one using universal laws would make action so much
simpler and more efficient, IMO.

The problem with that logic is something that may make perfect sense
in New York City is pretty silly on a ranch in Wyoming.
It would be like saying we only need one speed limit everywhere.

Can you imagine if the entire country copied Florida's law requiring
elderly people to drive 20mph under the limit with a turn signal flashing?
At least I assume it's a law.

That's not what I meant, but it highlights how one state can make laws
that are counter to common sense for the rest of the nation.

Some of us are 23 over but doing it so safely we just get a warning.

That reminds me of a friend of mine, he's in his 70s, complaining about all
the people passing on the right in NC. I rode with him once recently, he was
in the left lane of a major highway going 50. One after the other, cars were coming
up behind him, then passing on the right.
